“I like a female who’s prepared.”
“Well, then you’re in luck, because I’m a planner. Most of the time. I never seem to have a serviette when I need one. But when it comes to work and things that are important, then I’m your woman.” She gestured with her hand. “Let’s head to the kitchen to grab some stuff and head out.”
They walked together down the hallway. Her hand lightly brushed Nathan’s, and she felt the touch throughout her body.Their fingers brushed again, and she said screw it, and took his hand in hers.
For a beat, Nathan said nothing. Then he squeezed her fingers in his and said, “I rather like that you’re not perfect.”
“Um, pardon me?”
“I like that you drop things on yourself and walk around with disheveled hair. It’s endearing.”
“Says the man who looks like some sort of model.”
He snorted. “Far from it. Kai or Lucien are the ones who could be models. I’m just the IT guy who is deceptively strong.”
“I call bullshit. You’re sexy and toned, and both males and females would probably pay to see you strip.”
“I’m a stripper now?”
“Exotic dancer? Is that better?”
“No.”
“What about dragon hottie?”
“Hottie?”
“Sexy dragon beast?”
He sighed, and she couldn’t help but tease him some more. “Maybe there should be a Mr. Dragon Universe contest. You know, each clan sends a fit dragonman to compete, show off their skills, and try to answer serious questions they really don’t know the answer to.”
“No.”
“You could wear tight leather pants, maybe learn to swallow and spit fire with a torch, playing on that dragon myth.”
“Still no.”
“Oh, come on. You could raise a lot of money for charity and research. And it’d give humans a chance to see you’re more like us than not.”
He grunted, and she couldn’t help but laugh. “You’re so easy to tease.”
He stopped, walked her backward until she hit the wall, and caged her in. The mixture of heat and his spicy male scent made her forget about anything but the warm, solid dragonman in front of her.
As he nuzzled her cheek, she barely heard his words as he said, “I may not tease as easily with words, but once you’re naked and in front of me, I’ll make you beg before you come, love.”
His words sent a shiver down her spine, in a good way, and her clit throbbed in anticipation. “I look forward to it.”
He groaned and laid his forehead on her shoulder. For a few beats, they remained that way, and Hayley finally raised her hands to stroke his back. “If we’re to get to your type of teasing later, we really should head out soon.”
Nathan stood up, took her hand, and tugged her along. “Then let’s head out as soon as possible.”
Not wanting to waste what time she had when they could still talk, she asked, “What does your dragon like?”
“That depends. If he’s in charge and in our human form, he likes sex. A lot.”
“Oh.”
He squeezed her hand. “My dragon isn’t the type to ignore what the female wants, though. He’s demanding in bed, yes. But he’ll never do anything you don’t want him to do.”
